The
Jenkins Mountain Trail leads through the Forest Ecosystem Research
Demonstration Area (FERDA),showcasing modern forestry practices
as they look on the land. The FERDA plots were developed with
the USDA's Forest Service
and Paul Smith's College
to study and interpret the impacts of different cutting practices
on natural communities. Pick up the trail from the locked gateway
to the right of the gazebo at the main VIC entrance. It is an
easy 1.5 hike on a rather stony road to the Long Pond Trail to
your left.
